Copycat Chicken Tenderloins

Note: I found this recipe at Southern Plate. It is a copycat recipe of Cracker Barrel's grilled chicken tenderloin. The crazy part about that title is that this recipe doesn't require a grill. After the first time I made this chicken, the boys said, "This is a KEEPER!" I have made it several times since.

Copycat Chicken Tenderloins

Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips.
1 cup zesty Italian dressing
2 tsp lime juice
3 tsp honey (I used corn syrup once when I ran out of honey.)

Directions:
Place chicken in gallon ziplock bag. Combine all other ingredients and pour over. Seal and marinate for at least an hour (or if you are me you prepare it in the morning and let it sit all day long.) Pour all ingredients into a large skillet and cook over medium heat until liquid evaporates and remaining marinade becomes thick and caramelized. Coat each piece of chicken in marinade by rubbing it around on the bottom of the pan before removing it.

Delicious served with twice baked potatoes or baked macaroni & cheese.

I'm intrigued too. Looks so easy and that a little bit of ingredients can go a long way in flavor. Awesome.
